Of course you can't unconditionally call your own my_getProperty 
function (indirectly via JS_GetProperty), that will recursively diverge.

Why are you not using a switch statement on (JSVAL_TO_INT(id)), after 
checking that JSVAL_IS_INT(id), and special-casing the recursion to 
happen only for the "tinyid" associated with the identifier "my_array"?

That's not good -- it will probably be painful for both of us to try to 
teach more by trial and error.  Have you studied the documents at 
http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey?  Have you read the README.html 
in the source directory?
